0% fee 'Bring your own client'

[alexandernovikov]

Just got that mail... that sounds like a great thing, and i will be sure to use it when i get a chance.

But what bugs me: how do you plan to deal with the people who would hire themselves to gain success score, opening fake accounts of clients? It will be so cheap to do so (just some foreign exchange commissions, or maybe not even that when using U.S. payment methods) that it will be tempting to do so. Won't we soon face a whole new brand of fakes?

What i suggest: don't include contracts with these 0% clients into JSS calculation, top rated/rising talent, and otherwise take means to make sure they don't help a profile stand out.

I too am interested in this. How would I bring a client to upwork and get the 0% fees?

Hi Bogdan,

At this time, a freelancer will have to have Top Rated badge status to be eligible to participate in this program.

[ribicb]

And I am couple percent below that because of few small jobs that ruin my average. This would be a long-term job in upper bracket of what I had so far via your site, a kind of client you want on your site and not on a competing one.

Hi!

I wasn't aware of this promotion and did not receive any email. I can't see any options on my account too. I just got wind of this through word of mouth from a fellow Upwork friend... Is it possible to get a referral link? I got around 3 NEW clients who signed up this year with Upwork and wasn't able to take advantage of this. I have another prospect coming in and hopefully I can take advantage of this.

Hi Vanessa, 

I'll go ahead and share your information to the team so that they can reach out to you with your personal link, and more information about the program.

Hi, I became top-rated a couple weeks ago, but can't find the email that gives me a link to bring outside clients to Upwork. I've searched through my Inbox and Trash folder to no avail.

Someone recently contacted me through LinkedIn to do some work, and he's willing to pay me through Upwork. Can you please send me the link, or let me know if I need to do something to find it? I thought maybe it would be listed in my profile/account, but didn't find it there. He's ready to get the work started right away, so I'd like to send him the link as soon as possible.

Many thanks,

Jennifer

Hello Jennifer,

I'll have someone from our team reach out to you to assist you regarding the BYOC link.

Thank you and congratulations!

[dimitrieraw]

Hey Ryan,

I've been a top rated user for a while now and still haven't received any message in regard to the BYOC.

Is there any chance I get a BYOC link as well?

I would like to bring a new client to upwork asap.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Dimitrie,

I'll forward your account information to the team and they'll reach out to you if you qualify for the program.

Hi, 

I want to bring my client to upwork, we have a project of 400$ and I want to know how much we have to pay?

Thank you

[VladimirG]

Hi Mehdi,

You can find more details about Upwork fees here.

Note that if this client isn't already on Upwork and you're received the BYOC link, you as a freelancer will have 0% service fee applied on earnings you receive on contracts with this client going forward. Your client will still be charged the 2.75% payment processing fee.

[mehdi42ai]

Thank you Vladimir for your reply,

Could you please send me the BYOC link so I can send it to my client.

Best

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Mehdi,

Our team will send you the link soon, thank you!

[mehdi42ai]

Please send it me asap, because we are waiting on this. 

Thank you very much.

[achudinov]

Hello Goran. We were working with majority of our clients offline but we would like to invite some of them to work with us using upwork. Can you please provide us BYOC link so that we could have 0% fee for those clients.

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Alex,

Unfortunately you`re not eligible for this program. Only Rising Talent and Top Rated freelancer are eligible for 0% fee on contracts with clients who are signed up trough their unique link.
Once you have received a badge on your profile/agency feel free to follow up here and our team will send you the link shortly. Thank you.

Hi Goran and Upwork,

I've just invited a Client to Upwork using my BYOC link.

The client has created a project and manually invited me to interview, however, on making a proposal, the fee breakdown still showed Upwork fee -20%.

Can someone look into this to make sure that the fee will be removed...

Thanks, Alex

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Alexander,

Feel free to accept the invitation/offer and after couple of days the fee will be automatically reduced to 0%. If the fee is not changed after a couple of days let us know and our team will assist you with this, thank you.
